Sam's Oceanic 120 - DIY solutions

I'm just diced-out by how much my Alk consumption has gone up. Got a new Mg test and found that was low too!
Found a hidden shroom for Monday!

I don’t trust Salifert with Alk. Only with Mag I do. Only Hanna and want to try out the NYOS even though people seem to hate it.
My Salifert and Hanna are almost always in agreement.

Lol! I don’t understand those numbers. Is that in a day?

I’m dosing about 130ml kalkwasser every hour. Or about a full BRS measuring cup of 2part kh when the kalk runs out.

Oh yeah sorry that's in a 24hr period, using brs 2part with soda ash, and calcium chloride, and balling part c. No kalkwasser on this tank yet. I think I'm going to start kalkwasser on here soon though.

So you dose kalkwasser 24/7 on every hour?
Thats 3,120ml a day. dang that's allot.

On my new frag tank i use a 7g bucket resivor, I run kalk at a slow constant drip 24/7 @ 1700ml a day but im still playing with that because i have no experience with kalk, what kind of mix or strength are you doing? I'm really thinking about doing it on my 120g

I’m using one of my kalkwasser stirrers. I’m running full strength kalk.
I loaded it up with 2x up’s of pickling lime 2weeks ago. I should be refilling it soon.

you dose that much Mg daily?! that's insane; am I missing something? Is that why your Coraline is off the hook?

That's balling part c, but I named it magnesium and cant/haven't changed it, but it's 2× the alkalinity amount.

I can't say for sure it's working but it's not broken kind of thing, so I'm stuck using it on both systems.
 
Tired of seeing my Bi-color decimate my toadstool...
I finally ripped it off the rock and will be putting it in the frag tank...
